Hi!! I'm Lily, and I like WikiHow, otters, peanut butter celery, and Wetpaint. What is Wetpaint? Well, I am not going to go into detail because as much as I like them, I wouldn't want to advertise them. LOL. Wetpaint is basically your own Wiki Maker. www.wetpaint.com or www.wetpaintcentral.com

My opinions on WikiHow:

It's fun.

It's useful (I used it for writing a "How-To" essay for school)

It's a great way to meet new people, even though you might only know their name and gender. :D

I am the oldest of four kids and I am ONLY going to say that I am a girl...And I'm older than I was last week.

I like rabbits (I once had a gray dwarf rabbit with ears that hung down...), fashion designing, computers, writing stories, art, making jewelry, and basically all things creative. I also like crafts.

Fairies, flowers, and magic interest me as well. I am trying to come up with a page idea that blends all of that. If you have any suggestions, please tell me!

Um, I love writing stories. Currently I am working on a book with no name. As I mentioned before, I also like fashion designing. Things that inspire me for BOTH book-writing and fashion designing are:

- flowers

- fairies

- cute little kids

- chocolate

- computer games

- books

- clothes

- people (I like to "people watch", which is observing other people: habits, outfits, appearances, even names!)

- my friends

- Popsicles

- Creamsicles!!! (The BEST)

- long relaxing baths

- good-smelling lotion

Well I could go on and on but I think I should stop here for our own health. ;D

Now that summer's here, I think its time to enjoy ourselves. Here are some fun things to do this summer.

On the 4th of July, you could:

- Decorate your bike or scooter with red, white, and blue streamers or sparkly silver stars! Give it some patriotic flair!

- Make a red, white, and blue sundae: Scoop vanilla ice cream into a tall glass, pour in some cherry soda, and top with a handful of blueberries. Mmm!

Other fun things to do:

- Make a collage of everything that makes you smile: song lyrics, photos of family and friends, or drawings/pictures of your favorite places. Hang it up on your wall!

- Get a group of friends together and make a movie! You could make a fashion show, comedy, adventure, or anything you want! Ask a sibling or friend (or even a parent) to be the camera person.

- Hold an outdoor board-game night. Gather an assortment of board games and have a tournament with your family or neighbors.

- Decorate a frisby with glittery stickers, puffy paint, and sparkles. Let it dry, and then play!

- August 3rd is National Watermelon Day. Float small chunks of watermelon in a pitcher of lemonade. Leave it in the fridge overnight to let the watermelon soak up the lemonade. Enjoy!

- Fill a spray bottle with cold water and ice, and put it in the fridge. When you come in from being outside, spray yourself for an icy blast. This feels great if you have been running around, and if you are hot and sweaty!



With these tips, I hope your summer ROCKS!
